In partnership with the Japan-America Society of
Dallas/Fort Worth, the Crow Collection of Asian Art celebrates the full
autumn moon each year with an outdoor picnic, Japanese music, and haiku
poetry. This program is free and open to the public

Although
not commonly observed in modern-day Japan, the moon viewing tradition
dates back to the Heian period (A.D. 794–1185), when the evening was
marked with poetry and music by court aristocrats. The celebration later
spread to warriors, townspeople, and farmers, and became a harvest
festival.
